Intimacy and Sex

Can we be intimate without having sex? I've asked this question before but no response! SO can we be intimate and share with each other tender and passionate moments without removing an article of clothing? Or must we get into the bare to show we care for each other? Is this new generation of "adults" all about sex or is there a way to have long lasting relationships without them being based on the physical. Yes attraction to the opposite is a must(for me) but are you attracted to his "rap" or his goals? What drives that person to live and breathe for another day? What about your dreams and aspirations and seeing your determination to strive for what you believe in? Help me understand! Am I alone out here? TALK TO ME BABIES I'M ALL EARS!
